Problem for Hinds was that the car’s owner has called the restaurant to say that the food deliveries were off. The restaurant called the customers, who said the food was being delivered. The restaurant called the police, gave them the delivery schedule and the enterprising Hinds was pinched.

But perhaps the oddest part of British readers is the list of offences levelled against Hinds, who was charged with “third-degree larceny, possession of less than half an ounce of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and failure to keep drugs in the original container”.
